'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon is 'n podcast wat die wêreld van die moderne Afrikaanse ma weerspieel. Aanbieder Daniëlla van Heerden (self 'n ma van twee) voer openhartige gesprekke met kenners en spesiale gaste. Die fokus is nie net babas en kinders se gesondheid nie, maar ook ma's se emosionele welstand.
Hier sal jy saam lag vir daardie oomblikke wat net 'n ma kan verstaan - soos dat vyf minute alleen in die motor soms kan tel as "me-time"!
Meer ernstige onderwerpe soos postpartum depressie, tantrums en boelies word egter ook openlik bespreek.
Alledaagse én bekende ma's kom kuier ook in die ateljee om hulle stories te deel.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon sal jou inspireer, bemagtig en herinner dat jy (ten spyte daarvan dat jy soms twyfel) altyd die beste ma is vir jou kind.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon is a podcast that reflects the world of the modern Afrikaans mom.
Host Daniëlla van Heerden (herself a mom of two) engages in candid conversations with experts and special guests.
The focus extends beyond the health of babies and children to encompass the emotional well-being of mothers.
Here, you'll share laughter for those moments only another mom can understand – like how five minutes alone in the car can sometimes count as "me-time"!
However, more serious topics such as postpartum depression, tantrums, and bullying are also openly discussed.
Everyday and well-known moms alike drop by the studio to share their stories.
'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon will inspire, empower, and remind you that, despite moments of doubt, you are always the best mom for your child.
Sy is ’n heldin vir meer as een geslag Afrikaanse kinders. Hulle ken haar as Tannie Carike van Kinderland, Heidi en Ghoempie, terwyl ouers en grootouers haar onthou as een van Suid-Afrika se mees geliefde sterre van TV, film en musiek.
Dis moeilik om te glo dat Carike Keuzenkamp binnekort 80 jaar oud word! Daniëlla nooi haar na die M&M-ateljee vir ’n gesprek oor haar besonderse lewe, maar dié keer val die kollig nie soseer op haar roemryke loopbaan nie, maar op die rolle wat vir haar die belangrikste is: vrou, ma van drie en ouma van agt.
Carike vertel hoe sy dekades gelede, ver van haar eie ma en ondersteuningsnetwerk, in Amerika vir die eerste keer ma geword het, en hoe haar kinders en kleinkinders haar vandag weer met dié land verbind. Sy gesels ook oor haar lang en gelukkige huwelik, die waardes wat sy aan haar kinders wou oordra, die vreugde van oumaskap en hoe haar ervaring met borskanker haar uitkyk op die lewe verander het.
She is a childhood hero to generations of Afrikaans-speaking children. They know her as Tannie Carike from Kinderland, Heidi and Ghoempie, while their parents and grandparents remember her as one of South Africa’s most beloved stars of television, film and music.
It’s hard to believe that Carike Keuzenkamp is about to turn 80! Daniëlla welcomes her into the M&M studio for a conversation about her extraordinary life. But this time, the spotlight isn’t so much on her remarkable career as on the roles that have always mattered most to her: wife, mother of three and grandmother of eight.
Carike recalls becoming a first-time mother in America decades ago, far from her own mother and support system, and how her children and grandchildren now connect her to that country once again. She also reflects on her long and happy marriage, the values she hoped to pass on to her children, the joys of being a grandmother, and how her experience with breast cancer has changed her outlook on life.

Jou dogter en puberteit: Wat elke ma moet weet/ Your Daughter and Puberty: What Ev
Word ons dogters regtig al hoe jonger wanneer hulle begin menstrueer? En hoe jonk is té jonk? Daniëlla gesels met ginekoloog dr. Celesté van Drünick oor die eerste tekens van puberteit, wat normaal is en wanneer ouers bekommerd moet wees. Ons praat ook oor hoe en wanneer om jou dogter voor te berei op haar eerste menstruasie, die vrae wat meisies dikwels te skaam is om te vra en hoekom ouers moet ophou om so geheimsinnig oor menstruasie te wees.
Are girls really starting their periods younger and younger these days? And how young is too young? Daniëlla chats with gynaecologist Dr Celesté van Drünick about the early signs of puberty, what's normal and when parents should be concerned. We also talk about how and when to prepare your daughter for her first period, the questions girls are often too embarrassed to ask, and why parents need to stop treating menstruation like such a big secret.

Ons moet praat oor Prysuitdelings/ We Need to Talk About School Award Ceremonies
Vir sommige kinders is prysuitdelings die hoogtepunt van die jaar. Vir ander is dit die slegtste aand van hulle jong lewens. Daniëlla gesels met die kliniese sielkundige Gerda Kriel oor die druk wat kinders én ouers rondom prestasie ervaar, hoe dit kinders se selfbeeld beïnvloed en waarom selfs toppresteerders swaarkry. Hoe help ons ons kinders om teleurstelling te hanteer, ander se sukses te vier en te weet dat hul waarde nie deur ’n sertifikaat of trofee bepaal word nie?
For some children, school award ceremonies are the highlight of the year, while for others, they bring disappointment, sadness and even anxiety. Daniëlla speaks to clinical psychologist Gerda Kriel about the pressure children and parents face around achievement, how it affects children's self-esteem, and why even top achievers can struggle. How can we help our children deal with disappointment, celebrate the success of others, and understand that their worth isn't determined by a certificate or trophy?
